.223 Rifle Build

OP you don’t need a 70 degree bolt throw. Been doing this over 30 years and never used anything but 90s and no issues at all on many rifles. That whole fear of scope issues is bolstered by companies selling 60-75degree bolt throw actions. ;)

Glad you steered towards a steel barrel. I have a 27” 7 twist .223 Wylde chambered by PVA and it shoots the 75 ELDs great! I screwed it on my .308 TL3 action and it ran great. Don’t sweat magazines. Get some MDT polys and run them. I load mine at .020” off the lands in the Wylde chamber which has a .62 freebore. If you plan to mostly shoot the 77 and below the Wylde does a great job.

What actions are your .308 and 6.5? You may just be able to pop a barrel on one of them.
Oh im not afraid of 90 degree actions lol and never had issue, i just want a shorter throw action :) And my other ones are Tikka and TRG 22. they are both setup the way i like and dont really want to rebarrel those for now, just want a dedicated very good .223 rifle. I'm not opposed to spend money on quality parts so thats why i asked for your guys input. I do alot of research before I spend the money usually and 99% of the time the end result is trouble free.
Having said all that bs, I mostly have experience with AR platform in that caliber, be it built by me or someone else, bolt gun in todays world with so many options is a bit overwhelming. AR i know exactly what I need to build a fantastic rifle, bolt gun is like voodoo since its been a very long time since i had a rifle built. Now, with all the actions, prefit barrels, and stock options i figured i need some outside input before i spend $$$$$

There are a ton of things he’s done that are very difficult to even keep up with.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

fair enough but you seem to shill for Zelinskyy and Ukraine and seem to advocate our continuing waste of resources there and the risk of a bigger war (which you deny). you never have said why we should do anything but pull everything and everybody out of that corrupt shit hole. your documentation of all the Soviet damage done here is correct as far as i know. patting yourself on the back for knowing all that is blowing smoke. anybody paying attention since the 60s at least has known most of it albeit at a less detailed level. that is not some all knowing illumination from a self styled guru.
there are several "kill all the commies" dorks on here. spending and the risk of doing that,at least overseas,is stupid. we got enough in this country to keep such people busy.
personally,i give a shit if Putin goes to the channel. we have nothing to lose in (at least western) Europe except to rotting remains of a civilization that has killed itself. post 1527

Ukraine war Bullshit.

and we should care about anything happening in Europe? why? even you admit that Europe is done and by their own hand. we need to keep their problems out of here. those having been started many years ago. we are going to have big problems cleaning out our own Augean stable. no matter the details you provide,which appear to be solid,the fact that Russia has AFed us long term is common knowledge. at least it should be. the corruption in congress,leg branch,big corps is also,or should be,common knowledge as well. China owns a big piece of that also.
you can still not come up with any justification for the billions that have been pissed away in Ukraine. in the past you have claimed that the numbers claimed by Tucker,Macgregor et al are overstated and not true. that is BS. even "a few" million would be too much. we have problems here in case you might have noticed. wanting to fuck with Russia is just childish on the part of our many neocons. profitable for them as well. your statements that Russia is inept,incompetent and stupid may well be true but they still have >1K nucs. i,for one,am not curious to see if any of them work as intended. if Russia is indeed incompetent,then trying to take anything else in Europe will be a rat fuck which will finish Putin off for sure.
It’s not profitable sending “expired” munitions for major defense contractors. The last time they handled most of those muntions was either at time of manufacture 20-30 years ago, or during upgrades for the services. For MIC, those are sunk costs realized decades ago. I don’t understand why this reality doesn’t sink in, other than the repetitive effects of consuming TikTok and social media brevity posts that pound a lie in repeatedly.

The “cash value” sent is marginal to that, to keep critical workers paid so the whole country doesn’t just collapse. I agree with the sentiment that it isn’t our business doing nation-building, and it would have all been avoided had Trump been at the helm like before. Weak traitors who already sold out our Nation like Clinton, Biden, and Obama only embolden adventurists to move forward.

We never wanted to interfere with Russia. Russia is free to do what it wants within its borders. Ukraine agreed to hand over the nukes with Nunn-Lugar, as long as the US, UK, and Russia would ensure their territorial sovereignty. Putin violated that long ago, so we’re left with his mess. It isn’t our doing or any of that Russian deflection messaging designed to get navel-gazers to self-blame, from 6000 miles away.
